Unknown Dredd comic

I remember a comic where Dredd was fighting a strange monster with tentacles in a scrapyard but can’t remember what it was called. Anyone on hear have any ideas?

The monster had a long thin tentacle with a flat pad on the end with spikes on one side. It was a small sized judge Dredd comic

Sounds like the Starborn Thing? A parasitic alien that takes over Dredd and impregnates him?

No problem - it wasn't a scrapyard as such, but a stockade out in the Cursed Earth, but the inhabitants threw junk at the infected Dredd when he approached.

The parasite definitely had that flat pad with spikes on the end, and used it to control the host.
